[CTRL] Waco and Kosovo-Clintons Legacy of Church Burnings
-Caveat Lector- http://etherzone.com/originals2.html Waco and Kosovo-Clintons Legacy of Church Burnings By: Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources (www.originalsources.com) Cox Washington Bureau reported Saturday that "Army anti-terrorism specialists, including the commander of the top-secret Delta Force, attended the 1993 meeting at which Attorney General Janet Reno approved use of tear gas against members of the Branch Davidian group near Waco, Texas." "It is the first indication that the Delta Force, whose presence at the fatal raid was disclosed this week, was involved in planning the operation." In 1995 I watched, and taped DAYS of testimony during the Congressional Hearings during which Reno managed to say almost nothing - certainly nothing about the involvement of Delta force. There was conflicting testimony about the flammability of the CS gas which, the Davidians claimed, was the agent which killed most of the children, who were underground in a shelter that they believed was the safest area of the facility. Government witnesses denied categorically that a flammable substance had been used and claimed the Davidians had set the fire themselves and killed their own children. I might point out that there are STILL Davidians in prison over this event - after the media had demonized David Koresh, just like they have demonized the Serbs in recent months Remember the clip, played over, and over, and over on network news in which David Koresh was saying "I am Jesus Christ?" A lot of talk show mileage was gotten out of the often played remark. However, nothing preceding or following the abrupt - "I am Jesus Christ" statement was EVER played. And, you know why? Because David Koresh was responding to a stupid question by a reporter in which he was stating that "...if that is correct, then I am Jesus Christ." His statement was followed by a burst of laughter because Koresh had put the reporter down. Only, it seems, the reporter had the last laugh because he doctored the tape to Koresh by cutting everything before and after "I am Jesus Christ" and was able to portray him as a monstrous fraud who claimed to be Jesus Christ who raped little girls and used religion as a means of controlling his followers. We learn from the latest admission as reported by Cox that Janet Reno has said that during that meeting, she raised numerous questions about the effect tear gas would have on members of the rebellious religious cult and, especially, their children. Now, exactly who was at that meeting? A document, written May 13, 1993 nearly a month after the fiery end of the Waco standoff, giving a synopsis of the April 14 meeting indicates it involved Reno, Col. William Boykin, then Delta Force commander, and Brig. Gen. Peter Schoomaker, then the assistant division commander of the 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas, who were the previously unidentified officers who told Reno use of CS gas, a potent form of tear gas, plus then-FBI Director William Sessions, then-Associate Attorney General Webster Hubbell, two Army officer and several FBI agents. Boykin and Schoomaker told Reno the CS gas would make the compound "untenable Who in that group would have been competent to answer the question of how the theology of the Branch Davidians might lead them to react to a military attack by government forces? Was the question merely one of what CS does PHYSICALLY to human subjects? If so, what the question about the effect CS gas would have on the so-called rebellious religious cult? What, exactly, did their religion have to do with the decision to gas them? While Reno was asking the Delta Force commander what effect the gas would have on Koresh and his band of followers, David Koresh was working day and night on an analysis of the meaning of the seven seals of the Book of Revelation in the Bible and what it meant. He had told his attorney, Dick DeGuerin on April 14, five days before the attack began, in a letter that he would come out of Mt. Carmel, when he had completed his treatise on the Seven Seals. Former FBI agent Jeff Jamar testified on July 27, 1995 that he would have cancelled the CS Gas operation had there been any evidence that Koresh was working on his Seven Seals treatise following his April 14th pledge to come out and challenged the congressional committee to listen to the negotiation tapes of the last few days. In fact, the negotiation transcripts show that Koresh WAS working on the manuscript and that Jamar's testimony, as well as that of agent

[CTRL] Fwd: WND Banking On The Chinese Army
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith/19990831_xcsof_banking_ch.shtml According to a 1997 report on the Chinese Defense Industry by the Rand Corp., the Chinese communists "often reward themselves with large official and unofficial commissions... In the case of the ministry level receipts, these funds are believed to be used for a wide variety of legitimate and illegitimate purposes, ranging from modernization of industrial plants to the padding of the Swiss bank accounts of top ministry officials." Doing business with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is very profitable for the corrupt. It is no surprise that the Chinese Army does its banking with the same firms who did Adolph Hitler's finances. The Communist Chinese have come to accept marxism and money. The curious mix of left wing politics and capitalist profits is not a new concept. The fall of old communism came during the 1980s with Premier Li Peng's order to "just go and make money." Li Peng's order has given rise to a new fascism. The central party and single power of the Chinese communists are not threatened with the advent of consumer goods. The PLA Generals profit, the Army profits and even the party profits. However, the massive giant of over a billion people cannot match the economic output and standard of living earned by a few million on the tiny island-nation of Taiwan. China can not match Taiwan even after the jewel of Hong Kong was given away to the red over-lords. Obviously, being able to choose which toothpaste to buy is not freedom. The first to pay for the Clinton China policy are the freedom loving Chinese, seeking to liberate themselves from the corrupt communist warlords. The anti-American fever that swept Beijing after the U.S. bombing of the Chinese embassy allowed the red masters to crack down on dissidents and divert attention from an ailing economy. The bloody crack-down continues to this day while Clinton remains silent. The Chinese Army Second Artillery Corps. has more nuclear weapons than all the other Asian nations combined. No Asian nation can currently field an anti-missile system to stop a PRC nuclear tipped missile. Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Phillipino allies once stood with America under the nuclear sword during the long years of the cold war. Clinton abandoned our brave Asian allies. The word from the White House is that China will not invade Taiwan. The words from Beijing are, according to the Democrat spin, simple saber rattling. No military action is predicted until after a summit meeting between Mr. Clinton and Jiang Zemin in the fall of 1999. The spin is that the so called "Clinton" effect will keep the People's Liberation Army in their barracks instead of going for a swim. Chinese President Jiang Zemin could care less about meeting Bill Clinton. Any political deal with the lamest duck in history, the impeached Bill Clinton, will evaporate before the coming elections. Any technology exports are likely to draw too much press attention to be useful. The Chinese communists are hoping to buy the next U.S. election and their investment in Bill Clinton is rapidly running out. Clinton's crack down on U.S. investigative journalists is representative of his corrupt and dangerous administration. Democrats often point out that the abuse of the IRS by Richard Nixon was his final transgression. Mr. Clinton has already shown he is willing to abuse the press with his Presidential powers, including the IRS audit of the Western Journalism Center. Yet, none of the so called defenders of the press have leapt to the rescue. Henry Waxman and the Democrats now stand accused of helping the cover-up by confessed PLA bag-man Johnny Chung. The Republicans, stung by the Starr investigation of Monica, are not about to go up against the Clinton machine again. CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post all remain strangely silent about the events slowly unfolding behind the White House orders to intimidate and cow journalists with the powers of the U.S. government. The facts speak volumes that all the spin-masters cannot distort. The first rule of Watergate journalism is "follow the MONEY." Obviously, there was enough money for PLA "Swiss" bank accounts. What of the allegations that Ron Brown and Vince Foster also had off-shore bank accounts? Does Hillary Clinton or Vice President Gore have a Swiss bank account stuffed with illegal bribes spun by foreign investors? You can be sure that ABC, CBS, and NBC will not seek the answers to these questions. And you can be just as sure that this reporter will pursue the allegations and the money. And what benefit does the Chinese Army get from doing business with Clinton? According to the Rand Corp. report: "For those who oppose any subsidization of the PLA, there is thus ample evidence that profits from PLA-affiliated enterprises directly benefit the main-line forces of the Chinese military." While Bill Clinton cut U.S.

-Caveat Lector- from: http://www.aci.net/kalliste/ A HREF="http://www.aci.net/kalliste/"The Home Page of J. Orlin Grabbe/A - Today's Lesson From History of the Thirteen by Honore de Balzac In Paris under the Empire thirteen men came together. They were all struck with the same idea and all endowed with sufficient energy to remain faithful to a single purpose. They were all honest enough to be loyal to one another even when their interests were opposed, and sufficiently versed in guile to conceal the inviolable bonds which united them. They were strong enough to put themselves above all law, bold enough to flinch at no undertaking; lucky enough to have almost always succeeded in their designs, having run the greatest hazards, but remaining silent about their defeats; impervious to fear; and never having trembled before public authority, the public hangman or even innocence itself. They had all accepted one another, such as they were, without regard to social prejudice: they were undoubtedly criminals, but undeniably remarkable for certain qualities which go to the making of great men, and they recruited their members only from among men of outstanding quality. Lastly--we must leave out no element of the sombre and mysterious poetry of the story--the names of these thirteen men were never divulged, although they were the very incarnations of ideas suggested to the imagination by the fantastic powers attributed in fiction to the Manfreds, Fausts and Melmoths of literature. = Barbecued Children Federal Prosecutor Warns Reno of DOJ Coverup on Waco by Lee Hancock A Waco federal prosecutor wrote Attorney General Janet Reno on Monday to warn that ``individuals or components within the Department of Justice'' may have long withheld evidence from her and the public about the FBI's use of pyrotechnic grenades on the day the Branch Davidian compound burned. Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Johnston said he felt compelled to warn Reno after he was given a 5-year-old document that discusses the use of ``military gas'' by the FBI on April 19, 1993. He said he was concerned because the document, a three-page set of notes detailing an interview with members of the FBI's hostage rescue team, included handwritten notations suggesting that it be kept from anyone outside the department's legal staff. ``There are handwritten notes on the documents discussing whether or not they should be disclosed, and, obviously, they have not been,'' said Johnston, the federal prosecutor involved longest in the entire Branch Davidian investigation. ``There was discussion about whether they should be turned over,'' he said. ``Obviously, the decision was made somewhere in Washington that they were not to be.'' Asked about the matter late Monday, Justice Department spokesman Myron Marlin said, ``I wouldn't comment except to say that the attorney general has received assurances that pyrotechnic tear-gas devices would not be used and were not used. And she has pledged to get to the bottom of this.'' Johnston said he was presented with a copy of the document last week after officials divulged that the FBI had, in fact, used pyrotechnic tear gas on April 19. A former senior FBI official told The Dallas Morning News that he had learned that two M651 CS tear-gas grenades had been fired at an area adjacent to the compound by members of the FBI's hostage rescue team. The official has maintained that use of the grenades had nothing to do with the fire that consumed the compound. The issue has sparked a House committee investigation and also prompted angry congressional demands for an independent investigation of the FBI because Reno and other senior FBI and Justice Department officials have long maintained that nothing capable of sparking a fire was used by the government on April 19. The compound burned that day with Branch Davidian leader David Koresh and more than 80 followers inside. The fire erupted about six hours after the FBI began using tanks and tear gas to try to force an end to a 51-day standoff. On Monday, the House Government Reform Committee issued subpoenas for Johnston and the Texas Rangers ordering them to present all their records relating the use of pyrotechnic tear gas by the FBI. The subpoenas ordered the prosecutor and the rangers to appear on Sept. 7 in Washington. Johnston has been assisting the rangers since late June in an ongoing inquiry to identify questioned evidence that has been in the possession of the Texas Department of Public Safety since the Davidian standoff. The use of pyrotechnic devices on April 19 is a key issue involved in a pending wrongful-death lawsuit filed by surviving Branch Davidians and families of those who died. The lawsuit contends that the government's negligence or deliberate actions caused the 1993 tragedy. ``One of the key issues in this case is who started the fire,'' said Joe Phillips of Houston,

Om K - Hamline Journal of Public Law and Policy Volume 18, number 1, Fall 1996 *1 THE UNWARRANTED WARRANT: THE WACO SEARCH WARRANT AND THE DECLINE OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT by David B. Kopel [1] Paul H. Blackman [2] Copyright C 1996 Hamline Journal of Public Law and Policy; David B. Kopel, Paul H. Blackman Notes about the HTML version of this article: This article is separated into three files, of which this is the first file. The bottom of each file contains links to the other two files. The star pageination system (e.g, "*3") tells you the page number of the printed copy. [Hypertext Version, Part One] *1 Criticism of federal law enforcement actions at Waco has not been in short supply. But the criticism has generally focused on how the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) conducted its February 28, 1993 raid on the Branch Davidian compound, and how the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted the fifty-one day siege that culminated in the tank and chemical warfare assault of April 19, 1993. Missing from the discussion of how the federal government handled the Waco disaster is how the government got into the problem in the first place. In particular, how and why did the government procure the search and arrest warrants which the BATF was attempting to "serve" with its unsuccessful raid? A careful study of the Waco search warrant reveals numerous flaws, not just with the warrant application but with search and seizure law as it has developed in the 1990s. In this article, we examine in detail how the Waco warrants were procured and use the flaws in the Waco warrants to illustrate broader trends which have encroached the Fourth Amendment and other parts of the Constitution in the 1980s and 1990s. Part one of this article sets forth the background to the BATF investigation of the Branch Davidian residence at the Mount Carmel Center, outside of Waco, Texas, and suggests that there is no good reason for the federal BATF to have jurisdiction over the tax offenses it was allegedly investigating. Part two studies the warrant application and reveals how the application was riddled *2 with errors of law and fact, and offers reforms for how to reduce false or misleading statements in future warrant applications. Part three investigates the possibility that the lawful exercise of First Amendment rights may have been a key element in the BATF's determination that there was probable cause for the Waco raid. Part four proposes two broader reforms to reduce the poor quality law enforcement work of which the Waco warrant was symptomatic: first, replacing the Gates [3] "totality of the circumstances" standard for judging the sufficiency of a warrant application with the two-part Aguilar [4] test to offer magistrates better guidance; second, reinvigorating the Exclusionary Rule. I. How the Investigation Began A. "Zee Big One" In mid-November 1992, personnel from the 60 Minutes television program began contacting BATF officials regarding a story that 60 Minutes was producing about sexual harassment within the BATF. [5] At the same time, the BATF knew that a new President was coming to power--a President who had pledged to fight sexual harassment on every front, to "reinvent government," and to cut the federal budget deficit. The BATF had already been on the defensive about discrimination. In 1990, black agents had filed suit in federal court claiming that the BATF racially discriminated in hiring, promotion and evaluation. [6] A fresh round of discrimination complaints by black BATF agents came in October 1992, the month before 60 Minutes began setting up interviews for the sex discrimination story. [7] The 60 Minutes report, which *3 would air on January 10, 1993, put the BATF in a vulnerable position for the Congressional budget hearing that would take place in early March, given the new administration's concern with sexual and racial harassment, and with reorganizing the government. The 60 Minutes report was devastating. A BATF agent, Michelle Roberts, told the television program that after she and some male agents finished a surveillance in a parking lot, "I was held against the hood of my car and had my clothes ripped at by two other agents." [8] Agent Roberts claimed she was in fear for her life. The agent who corroborated Ms. Roberts' accusations recounted that he was pressured to resign from the BATF. Another agent, Sandra Hernandez, said her complaints about sexual harassment were at first ignored by the BATF, and she was then demoted to file clerk and transferred to a lower- ranking office. BATF agent Bob Hoffman said "the people I put in jail have more honor than the top administration in this organization." [9] Agent Lou Tomasello told the television audience:

Om K - A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:548616"George Bush Sr. and his Poppy Seeds/A - Subject: George Bush Sr. and his Poppy Seeds From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Flashback) Date: Sun, 29 August 1999 12:57 AM EDT Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] George Bush Sr. and his Poppy Seeds A fascinating sidebar of the GW Bush cocaine contretemps is how his dad's nickname has been neglected. His nickname was "Poppy". As in George Herbert Walker "POPPY" Bush. All his old company cronies call[called] him "Poppy". The interesting question is how come no one cares to investigate the origins of this nickname. I suppose everyone assumes that "Poppy" is a an affectionate form of "Papa". But, I think that an investigation would reveal that GHWBush earned this nickname for his advocacy of the US involvement in opium poppy trafficking for its financing of US intelligence activities after WW2. In fact, I think one just might discover that GHWBush was the principal advocate, within the US intelligence community, of taking over the Roger Trinquier/French expeditionary forces lock on the opium poppy trafficking from Indochina after the French defeat at DienBienPhu. Once you recognize this linkage of GHWBush to SEAsia opium poppy cultivation, harvesting, etc. after 1954, you will have gained an important insight into the Bush family's linkage to international narcotics trafficking. What makes his son's[sons'] youthful usage of cocaine/marijuana so interesting is that GHWBush was directly involved in US intelligence services "running" cocaine and crack into CONUS [Continental United States of America] during his years as DCI, VP, and POTUS. Now, GWBush, as Governor of Texas, has promoted, advanced the harshest penalties for marijuana, cocaine, heroin users. And yet, I think that record, upon investigation, would reveal that all these users may have been created by the actions of his father, his family. Some of you may remember Operation Just Cause. GHWBush'es invasion of Panama. So as to kidnap pineapple[La Pina, Manuel Noriega]. Who was then tried and sentenced to perpetual solitary confinement in virtual star chamber proceedings. GHWBush made him one of our men in the Iron Mask. But another part of the OJC mission was to remove the material that would serve to blackmail the Bush family. If anyone would search, it might be discovered that a major part of the mission was to remove financial records concerning the Bush family and its enrichment from the CIA-facilitated drug trafficking in the Western Hemisphere. Historically, principal facts that must be understood is that after the fall of Batista, the transhipment point for Marseilles-refined, Indochinese opium moved from Habana to Panama. And then there is that ugly little money-changing[laundering] firm once known as Deak-Perrera. Deak-Perrera, forgotten by most today, but it was the cleansing mechanism for Western Hemisphere company activities. And it was a company proprietary. Through D-P, GHWBush connected with all the Panamanians. Some of whom held his markers. This history, conveniently undiscussed, is what makes GWBush more than a hypocrite. It makes him an accomplice. Knowing what I know about how the sons and daughters [contemporaries of GWBush and his brothers/sister] of the rulers consumed and dealt drugs with impunity, I continue to be distressed about how the Press refuses to deal with even that aspect of the story. Let alone the drug-running role pursued by GW's dad. Suffice it to say that if one were to investigate the families' running this country from 1965 - 1999, I think that you could find lots of evidence of drug busts. And only light penalties being imposed. This should be contrasted with those being busted who were not so well-connected. I beseech you all to "pile-on" GWBush and his family over this issue. - Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, Omnia Bona Bonis, All My Relations. Adieu, Adios, Aloha. Amen.

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] McCaffrey Getting Tough
From: David Goldman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Does the law against collaborators include CIA??!! 8/31/99 -- 3:06 AM Drug chieftain wants to target collaborators with drug kingpins WASHINGTON (AP) - Continuing cross-border drug flows are more the product of corrupt foreign companies and individuals than governments, says retired Gen. Barry McCaffrey, the White House counter-narcotics chief. And McCaffrey said Monday he favors Senate-approved legislation to impose sanctions against offending companies and individuals who collaborate with drug kingpins. ``It's about time for the United States to stop talking about our problems with the government of Mexico, Peru, et cetera, and start talking about our problems with individuals and businesses who are involved in drug-related crime and hold those people responsible for their actions,'' said McCaffrey, who recently visited Brazil, Bolivia, Peru and Argentina. When Congress returns from its summer recess next month, a House-Senate conference committee will work out the final shape of the legislation, which would authorize the president to take a series of measures against foreign companies or individuals linked to the drug trade. The sanctions include barring U.S. citizens from doing business with such companies or individuals and freezing their U.S. assets. Among the bill's co-sponsors are Sens. Paul Coverdell, R-Ga., chairman of the Foreign Relations subcommittee on Western Hemisphere affairs, Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Mike DeWine, R-Ohio. The legislation expands a 4-year-old presidential order aimed at Colombian drug traffickers. The bill has generated concern in Mexico that innocent people could be misidentified as collaborators with drug chieftains. McCaffrey acknowledged this was a concern and said safeguards must be written into the law to prevent such abuses. Despite his reservations, McCaffrey said he finds the proposal to be ``enormously compelling.'' Under the legislation, the Treasury Department would develop a list foreign traffickers active in any of the 28 countries listed as major drug source or drug transit countries. The sanctions would carry penalties of up to $500,000 per violation for corporations or $250,000 for individuals, as well as 10 years in prison. Copyright 1999 Associated Press. All rights reserved.

[CTRL] Living in Wonderland: Tired of the Lies, Propaganda and Hypocrisy
-Caveat Lector- from: from alt.conspiracy - As always, Caveat Lector. Great Article, Gavin! Om K - A HREF="aol://5863:126/alt.conspiracy:548664"Living in Wonderland: Tired of the Lies, Propaganda and Hypocrisy/A - Subject: Living in Wonderland: Tired of the Lies, Propaganda and Hypocrisy From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (GAVUFO) Date: Sun, 29 August 1999 11:05 AM EDT Message-id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is an article I recently finished that you might find of interest. Re-post/w attribute if you wish. See below, or at Freerepublic.com, thanks. Gavin Phillips www.freerepublic.com/forum/a37b8e6df1c0a.htm LIVING IN WONDERLAND: TIRED OF THE LIES, PROPAGANDA AND HYPOCRISY By Gavin Phillips Free to re-post w/attribute During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. - George Orwell "Please would you tell me," said Alice a little timidly "...why your cat grins like that?" "It's a Cheshire Cat," said the Duchess, "and that's why. Pig!" In Lewis Carrolls wonderful novel, "Alice in Wonderland," talking rabbits dash around wearing a waistcoat and a fob watch. Cats disappear and reappear with amazing alacrity. Alice explores a beautifully fantastic and eccentric world, but a world of fiction. Let us take a look at 3 major incidents in Clinton's 6 1/2 year presidency and determine if the official/mainstream media versions belong in our world, or in a wonderland of their own making. THE VINCE FOSTER "SUICIDE" The official story of the Vince Foster death is that Foster shot himself on July 20 1993 in Fort Marcy Park, Washington. But the enormous amount of evidence collected by investigative journalist Chris Ruddy leaves the official version in tatters. Ruddy has documented many dozens of major and minor inconsistencies, loopholes and massive incompetence in the government's investigation. I have listed below a small sampling of some of these. 1 No suicide note 2 Another torn note was found in a briefcase that previously had been searched 3 Three handwriting experts, including one from Oxford University, concluded the note was a forgery. 4 Body so neatly arranged, arms at sides, head straight up, as "if it was ready for the coffin," according to two paramedics. 5 No fingerprints, though gun found in hand 6 No visible blood splatter or blow-back on gun 7 Gun remained in hand Vincent Scalice and Fred Santucci, two homicide experts formerly with the New York City Police Dept. say: "Red flag indicating possible foul play...In our 50 years combined experience investigating homicides, we have never seen a gun so neatly arranged in a suicide's hand. We believe the gun was staged." 8 Gun not sent for testing until one week after official ruling of suicide 9 Police underexposed key 35mm crime scene photos, other Polaroid's missing 10 Relied on autopsy of Virginia medical examiner, who has been challenged in two suicide rulings - in one case the murderer later confessed 11 Patrick knowlton , a witness who officials said was the first to spot Foster's Honda in the parking lot, claims the FBI "lied" in his witness statement; they claimed he could not identify a man he saw in the park; he says he can. 12 Foster's glasses were found with gunpowder on them 19 feet from his head. Vincent Scalice and Fred Santucci say: "It is physically impossible for the eyeglasses to have moved 19 feet, or any significant distance from the body, as a result of the gun's explosion." I have only given a dozen examples of what Ruddy's investigation unearthed, there are nearly a hundred documented at his website www.newsmax.com, (or see his book, The Strange Death of Vince Foster)if you want further evidence. Another very important question is why was the Park Police, real life equivalents to the keystone Cops and little more than nightwatchman, initially put in charge of investigating the death of the highest public official to die in suspicious circumstances since JFK? Also unprecedented is the fact that the lead investigator had never handled a homicide case before. I suppose he needed the experience! When journalist and author Ambrose Evans-Pritchard located key witness Patrick knowlton he found out that the FBI had lied about Knowltons statements. Below is a small part of an interview between Wesly Phelan and Knowltons lawyer John Clark: CLARKE: ...Pritchard located and interviewed him. And Pat was telling the story, and Pritchard said "Are you telling the truth?" And Patrick said "Yes, why?" And Pritchard said "Because that's not what it says in your FBI 302 reports." And Patrick had never seen them, and so he said "Let me see them." So he went through them, and he said "This is a lie...This is a lie...This is a lie...A lot of lies in there." Another surprising coincidence is that the day before Foster committed suicide Bill Clinton dismissed FBI director William Sessions. He replaced him with errand boy Louis Freeh, a man who made his name by obtaining

This says "Secure The Blessings Of LIBERTY" to ourselves and our posterity. Only LIBERTY. No other God or Goddess. Liberty Here in America has always been symbolized Numismatically and in other ways by Columbia, an identity of the Goddess personifying her greatest attribute, Personal FREEDOM, but then around 1932 her image on the coinage became supplanted by male imagery, George Washingtons to be specific, and this was in direct disobeyance to that Mans orders before his death.

-Caveat Lector- In Britain, it seems that whenever someone wants to commission an 'authoritative report' on the security services, or their going's on, who do they call? ... well its not Ghost Busters, for sure. They call Duncan Campbell, 'a British Investigative Reporter', who supplies all the nitty-gritty they need, and meets the required publishing requirements. Surely, wouldn't they be better just asking the 'Public Affairs Office' of 'who/where-ever' for a prospectus. But then, that wouldn't have quite the same ring to it, would it?? Anyone else have any thoughts on Duncan Campbell, . "a thoroughly British" Investigative Reporter?? At 02:21 31/08/99 -0400, you wrote: -Caveat Lector- several articles at Wired.com on Project Echelon, which was "Top Secret" clandestine spy-network... now in the news... links to additional articles at the end.

That was one conclusion of a new report, Interception Capabilities 2000, accepted late last week by the European Parliament's Science and Technology Options Assessment Panel (STOA). The panel commissioned Duncan Campbell, a British investigative reporter, to prepare a report on Echelon, the US-led satellite surveillance network. "I have no objection to these systems monitoring serious criminals and terrorists," said Glyn Ford, a British Labour Party member of parliament and a committee member of STOA. "But what is missing here is accountability, clear guidelines as to who they can listen to, and in what circumstances these laws apply." Campbell was asked to investigate the system in the wake of charges made last year in the European Parliament that Echelon was being used to funnel European government and industry secrets into US hands. "What is new and important about this report is that it contains the first ever documentary evidence of the Echelon system," said Campbell. Campbell obtained the document from a source at Menwith Hill, the principal NSA communications monitoring station, located near Harrogate in northern England. The report details how intelligence agencies intercept Internet traffic and digital communications, and includes screen shots of traffic analysis from NSA computer systems. Interception Capabilities 2000 also provides an account of a previously unknown, secret international organization led by the FBI. According to Campbell, the "secret" organization, called ILETS (International Law Enforcement Telecommunications Seminar), is working on building backdoor wiretap capabilities into all forms of modern communications, including satellite communications systems. "[The report] is undoubtedly the most comprehensive look at Echelon to date because of its attention to detail -- [and] the NSA's use of technology," said John Young, a privacy activist in New York. = Snippety, Snip = DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] The FACTS on Global Warming
-Caveat Lector- The question which nobody associated with this debate has ever been able to answer is this: If meteorologists cannot even accurately predict the what the weather will be *tomorrow*, how can anyone predict weather and temperature trends on a global scale far into the future? Natural events have far greater impact on the Earth's weather than events caused by human-kind. One example among many is that of Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines. When this volcano erupted in 1991, it dumped more CFC's into the atmosphere in a couple of days than all of mankind could in the next 500 years. But that's OK, we banned Freon just in case. --snip-- Myth: There is no real evidence that global temperatures have risen as a result of human causes. Reality: After studying all available scientific data on the earth's climate, scientists with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concluded: "The balance of evidence suggests that there is a discernible human influence on global climate." The scientists found significant evidence that, in the last century, the average surface temperature of the earth has increased between 0.5° and 1.1°F (0.3° - 0.6°C). Data from both meteorological and historical records show that the twentieth century is warmer than any other period in the last 1,000 years. And the 10 warmest years since 1860 -- the beginning of reliable meteorological data -- have all occurred within the last 15 years. --snip-- DECLARATION DISCLAIMER == CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.

Re: [CTRL] The FACTS on Global Warming
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 99-08-29 23:01:14 EDT, you write: Myth: Responding to global warming costs too much in dollars and jobs. Reality: A new study shows that adoption of practices and technologies that would reduce US emissions of carbon dioxide -- like energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and clean transportation -- would save billions of dollars and generate hundreds of thousands of jobs. Energy Innovations, a recently released study, shows that if the United States turns away from fossil fuels and takes the path toward efficient use of energy from renewable sources, net savings nationwide will reach $58 billion by the year 2010, which is about $530 per household. In addition, in 2010, the oil import bill would be $21 billion less than if the country continues on the current energy path. Both of these savings would contribute to expanded employment, with the creation by 2010 of nearly 800,000 additional jobs. In addition, the study shows the renewable energy path resulting in a small increase of $14 billion in wage and salary income and a slightly higher gross domestic product (up about $3 billion) than would occur on the current path. Renewable energy needs to be the way of the future. Unfortunately people like Bush discourage if not sabotage efforts to bring this about since they are big in the oil industry. If we spent as much money supporting research and development in alternative energy sources as we have spent supporting oil companies ... the world could be much cleaner, especially in large cities. You can do something about this yourself by making your own devices to heat water and provide heat for your home. It is much more simple that you think. It can also pay for itself in two years or less if you go thermal, photovoltaic is more expensive but easier ... you can even use an old Atari computer to control your system. If you have an interest in this go to alt.solar.photovoltaic or alt.solar.thermal.

[CTRL] Radioactive Ooze
-Caveat Lector- "Readings were hundreds of times above radiation levels found naturally in soil and nine times higher than the level of radioactivity that would demand immediate action to seal off contaminated areas "Lab tests confirmed the presence of technetium, a radioactive metal that travels quickly through soil ..." Radioactive Ooze Found Outside Plant WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal officials confirmed that a radioactive black ooze found seeping outside the fence of a Kentucky uranium enrichment plant led workers to a burial ground for radioactive debris. Contract workers chanced upon the material near an unused sanitary landfill at the Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah, Ky., The Washington Post reported Sunday. Preparing to install wells to monitor another possible contamination site near the landfill, which closed in 1996, the workers found the ooze July 15. The workers dug beneath a tar-like liquid found in a track left by their drilling truck and turned up what appeared to be bits of tar paper and asphalt shingles. An Energy Department report said ``observations indicated possible roofing debris.'' Not until three weeks later, after further excavation, did plant officials learn the material was contaminated, the newspaper said. Radioactivity readings were hundreds of times above levels found naturally in soil and almost nine times higher than the plant's ``action level,'' which would trigger immediate action to seal contaminated areas inside the plant. Lab tests confirmed the presence of uranium and technetium. Technetium, a radioactive metal that travels quickly through soil, was brought into the plant inadvertently in the 1950s, '60s and '70s in shipments of recycled uranium from government nuclear reactors used to produce plutonium. Energy Department officials fenced off the site and reported the discovery to Kentucky's environmental regulators. Both the Department of Energy and the plant's current manager, U.S. Enrichment Corp., have contended that they are unaware of radioactive waste going into the sanitary landfill. Documents prepared by former contractors list the contents of the dump as ``uncontaminated trash and garbage.'' The landfill is ``permitted and operated according to Kentucky regulations,'' according to plant records. An Energy Department investigation is in the second week at the plant, which for 47 years has produced enriched uranium for nuclear weapons, Navy submarines and commercial power plants. Reports of contamination and sloppy waste management at the plant, including worker exposure to plutonium and other highly radioactive materials, prompted the investigation.

[CTRL] Will 'the First Shiksa' Free US Traitor Who Spied for Israel?
-Caveat Lector- Now that she's claimed "Jewishness" to seduce voters in New York ... Mrs. Clinton Urged on Spy Case By RICHARD PYLE .c The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) - A Jewish group is demanding that Hillary Rodham Clinton take a stand on the explosive issue of whether to free Jonathan Pollard, a former Navy intelligence analyst serving life as an Israeli spy. While the president and first lady attended fund-raisers in the Hamptons on Sunday, Assemblyman Dov Hikind, D-Brooklyn, told a sidewalk rally the Pollard case is ``certain to become a serious issue in the New York Senate contest.'' Mrs. Clinton is weighing whether to run for the seat being vacated by Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Hikind said Mrs. Clinton should try to persuade her husband to grant clemency for Pollard, who has served 14 years in federal prison for leaking U.S. military secrets to Israel in the early 1980s. The Justice Department has rejected previous demands for his release. ``We are pleading with Hillary to impress her husband with the humanitarian aspects of a pardon for Jonathan Pollard,'' Hikind said. ``Hillary has a lot of work to do in our community, and we are watching very carefully. She is for the unity of Jerusalem - very nice. But words alone do simply not work. Action is what will count, and I am determined to make this the No. 1 issue in our community.'' Hikind said Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who is expected to oppose Mrs. Clinton in next year's Senate race, supports freedom for Pollard. In a letter dated Aug. 9, Hikind asked the first lady to intervene. Howard Wolfson, a spokesman for Mrs. Clinton, declined to comment on the letter or Sunday's rally.

[CTRL] Moscow's RUSSIAN Illegal Aliens
-Caveat Lector- Russia Limits Moves to Moscow By NICK WADHAMS .c The Associated Press MOSCOW (AP) - Artist Boris Prudnikov was living in a tiny southern village in 1991, when he decided he had to move to Moscow, the country's mecca for art - as well as business, politics and just about every other field. The Soviet Union had just collapsed, and laws restricting people's movements were easing, so he figured he could chance moving to the big city. But Moscow's strict registration rules remained in effect, making him an illegal resident and forcing him to pay frequent bribes to avoid arrest and possibly deportation back home. ``Registration is a violation of all my human rights,'' says Prudnikov, who finally managed to register in 1997. ``If you look suspicious, the police will stop you. And if you're not registered, finding a job is virtually impossible.'' In a country wracked by a decade of economic depression, Moscow is the one place where Russians from the provinces can hope to break a cycle of dead-end jobs, unpaid salaries and shortages of basic goods. It is a magnet for people from every corner of the former Soviet Union, but moving here remains an extremely tricky business. Under the city's powerful mayor, Yuri Luzhkov, Moscow still enforces registration rules that violate the spirit, if not the letter, of Russia's constitution, which gives citizens the right to travel freely and live where they choose. Police actively try to stem the flow of fortune seekers and demand bribes from those without proper documents. They are particularly vigilant when encountering people from the Caucasus region of southern Russia, whose darker complexions make them easily identifiable. Estimates on the number of unregistered people living in Moscow range from 300,000 to 1.5 million - no one knows for sure. Most are Russian citizens who should be entitled to live in the capital, along with the 8.7 million registered residents. ``The whole system exists to keep basically anyone out of the city, anyone who isn't wanted,'' says Diederik Lohman, director of the Moscow branch of Human Rights Watch. ``There's a group of privileged people who can come to Moscow and live here fairly easily. For all the rest it's very difficult.'' Prudnikov, the artist, says it cost him $9,000 to get registered - $5,000 to a landlord who agreed to formally rent him an apartment and $4,000 in bribes to police and bureaucrats. During the Soviet era, a strict internal passport system tied people to their hometowns and made moving to another city extremely difficult. The Constitutional Court ruled in 1996 that Moscow's registration rules were illegal, but the revised law still discourages legal migration to the capital. Today, registration requires proof of residence, permission from the owner of the living space and an 8 ruble (30 cent) fee. But Russians trying to move to Moscow say the process isn't that easy. They say police ignore the law, demand bribes and often refuse registration based on ethnicity. ``In principle, the problem should be solved,'' says Tatyana Dolbena, a migration lawyer in Moscow. ``But in reality, Russians and citizens of the former Soviet Union are often refused registration arbitrarily.'' Police insist the registration system is needed to keep Moscow from being overwhelmed. It already has twice as many people as any other Russian city. Police also say they need to keep track of migrants, who, according to the Interior Ministry, committed about one-third of all crimes in the capital in 1998. ``It's no secret that (so many) crimes committed in Moscow are committed by migratory people,'' says Alexander Barabanchikov, deputy head of Moscow's passport control. ``Therefore, registration is essential.'' Many average Russians who are fed up with the high crime rate agree. But critics say the system is outdated and discriminates against citizens who are not ethnic Russians. Police still arbitrarily check internal passports, which Russian citizens are supposed to carry at all times. They frequently stop people based on ethnic appearance, believing minorities are less likely to be registered. Prudnikov says that before he registered, he was periodically taken to a police station and had to pay bribes to ensure he wasn't sent back to his village of Taganurk in southern Russia. He finally decided to go through the registration process when police, acting on a tip, confronted him at his apartment. Even now, police often stop him several times a day for document checks, presumably because of his dark skin. For those who can't afford the price of even temporary registration - some firms charge $100 - living in Moscow can be a game of paying bribes, telling lies and keeping a low profile. Yevgeny Petrenko, a native of the remote, northeastern region of Chukotka, has been in Moscow for more than a year. He hasn't gotten a job, isn't registered and lives with his girlfriend.

Re: [CTRL] What Does the Bible Say About Gun Control?
-Caveat Lector- In a message dated 99-08-30 09:41:14 EDT, you write: "Thou shalt not kill", or something like that. "Thou shalt not MURDER," if correctly translated from the Hebrew. That fact notwithstanding, the Old Testament is an inexhaustible litany of "justifiable" murders, most of them commanded by "God" Itself, who throughout its pages takes inordinately great pleasure in having innocent women, children, and even cattle of "the enemy" butchered by Its faithful "in God's name," i.e., ritually, in a manner analogous to the blood sacrifice of animals on Its altar. In fact, the Hebrew word used for slaughter of the enemy in war is exactly the same term used for dedication of sacrifices on the altar. "I am a 'jealous' god," was this deity's uncommonly honest self-description -- 'jealous' being a Hebrew adjective better translated 'zealous,' with the connotation of "fanatic." No wonder, noting that throughout the history of western "civilization" Biblical brutality has always been cited by propagandists (especially those mining the mother lode of pathological religiosity) to justify predatory STATE imperialism and colonialism. If the protagonists of this schizophrenic paean to baboon politics had NOT explicitly been Israelites/Hebrews/Jews, Hitler could even have used "The 'Holy' Bible" as a model NAZI textbook on racial "eugenics," the "master race" notion, and how to justify genocide. Yes, I do recognize the difference in spirit between the Old and New Testaments. The Old Testament "god" is most admired, emulated, and personally quoted by paranoiac aggressors in both Church and State, while the New Testament "god of love" is most admired, emulated and personally quoted by the ineffectual, bleeding-heart victims of the former. Yup, there's something for everyone in the cognitively-dissonant melding of totally contradictory viewpoints in that grab-bag of perverted religiosity called the Bible -- the sado-masochistic glamorization of the "reptoid" Master/Slave dichotomy has by now been forever assured by that "holy" book, with our psychotic Masters typically imagining themselves agents of Jehovah, "doing God's will" as they persecute and torture equally their deluded Slaves, who typically imagine themselves "Christlike" in their unresisting victimization, which of course is ALSO "God's will." Could anything be more pathetic, or more devoid of any genuine "spirituality," not to mention any awareness of Justice? Thank God for that -- The god, at least, of propagandists for two ancient ruling classes, the Levites under Egyptian and then Persian influence who pilfered their concept of a Universal Empire under a divine Priest-King (Messiah), and the semi-pagan gentile "Christians" of "Saint" Paul, inventor of a syncretistic Mystery Cult for Roman slaves, inculcating unquestioning obedience to "divine" Authority (the worldly Emperor's will)..

Re: [CTRL] Release: new Waco evidence
-Caveat Lector- Some things I learned about the law from being married to a lawyer and working as a legal secretary for 16 years: 1. The law assumes a reasonable person. It is unreasonable, considering what was at stake, for the person occupying the highest legal office in our land to be so unreasonable as to not inform herself of the facts surrounding the seige at Waco. 2. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Since even the unknowing person is held liable for the totality of the law, it is assumed that said aforementioned reasonable person would take the time and trouble to inform themselves of the facts in the case and the law surrounding those facts. If Janet is telling the truth, then she neither exhibited reason nor knowledge of the law. 3. A phrase frequently used in legal pleadings is: "...knew or should have known..." This is a direct application of the concept outlined in point No. 2 above. Therefore Janet Reno either knew, or should have known, all the facts involved in the proceedings at Waco. Her contention that she did not know (or was misinformed) of the truth in the matter, is worse than a cop-out ... it is in direct violation of legal concepts which ordinary persons are bound by. She has placed herself above the law, just as her boss has. Jean Staffen - At 04:57 PM 8/31/99 EDT, Prudence L.

[CTRL] Kosovo Kops
-Caveat Lector- From http://www.cato.org/dailys/08-21-99.html August 21, 1999 Theater of the Absurd in Kosovo by Gary Dempsey Gary Dempsey is a foreign policy analyst at the Cato Institute. As NATO's occupation of Kosovo enters its second month, one thing has become painfully clear: NATO and the Clinton administration are willing to go to absurd lengths to deny that the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) is taking over Kosovo and laying the foundation for a Greater Albania. When the KLA missed NATO's deadline for turning in its heavy weapons, for instance, NATO's top man in Kosovo, Gen. Michael Jackson, insisted that the KLA was not defying NATO. Rather, he claimed the guerrillas were so diligently accounting for all their weapons that they were being delayed. "I do not regard this as non-compliance," said Jackson, "but rather as an indication of the seriousness with which [the KLA]... is taking this important issue." As of yet, the KLA hasn't turned in all its heavy weapons, and on the day NATO's deadline expired, German soldiers stumbled upon a secret cache of 10 tons of ammunition--probably a mere fraction of what the KLA has hidden away. Even more alarming, the KLA has taken sweeping political control of Kosovo, establishing a network of self-appointed ministries and local councils, seizing businesses and apartments, and collecting taxes and customs payments. Moreover, each day brings new reports of KLA atrocities against Serb civilians--the drowning murder of a fully clothed, 78-year-old Serb woman in her own bathtub, made the front page of the Washington Post. Meanwhile, Lt. Cmdr. Louis Garneau, NATO's spokesman in Kosovo, conveniently announced, "We don't keep statistics on civilian deaths" under NATO's watch. We now know, however, that in the first seven weeks of NATO's occupation there were 198 confirmed homicides, 573 confirmed arson attacks, and 840 confirmed incidents of looting. More than 40 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries have been destroyed or damaged, and 200 Serb civilians have been kidnapped. According to Human Rights Watch, more than 80 percent of the Serbs in Kosovo have left or been driven out. Most of the kidnappings and murders, adds the rights group, have been committed by members of the KLA, who believe NATO has given them expansive reign. State Department spokesman James Rubin, however, insists that "there is no evidence of KLA involvement" in the outrages against Serb civilians. Rather, claims Rubin, there are rogue elements at work, not an organized ethnic cleansing campaign administered by the KLA leadership. Ironically, this is the same excuse Yugoslav strongman Slobodan Milosevic gave for the ethnic cleansing committed by Serb paramilitaries in Bosnia. The truth of the matter, however, is that ethnic cleansing need not be systematic, merely tolerated in limited cases. Throw a rock at one bird on a wire, and all the birds on the wire will take flight, goes an old Balkan saying. The KLA's take on the continuing ethnic violence is even more absurd. While paying lip-service to peace and harmony in front of the international press corps and Western diplomats, Hashim "Snake" Thaci, the KLA's self-declared prime minister of Kosovo, has scoffed, "There might be some people who are armed who aren't under KLA control... but there might be some people in KFOR [NATO's Kosovo Force] who aren't under General Jackson's control." Nonsense. NATO troops are not disobeying Jackson's orders, let alone killing civilians, burning down houses, and looting stores. The United Nations says it is now moving into Kosovo to help deal with the ethnic violence, and the UN's chief administrator, Bernard Kouchner, says he wants to pull the KLA into the exercise of power, offering it a share of executive responsibility. Other Western officials want the KLA to form the core of Kosovo's police force. What is likely to happen is more theater of the absurd, as the KLA's control is institutionalized while the charade that the KLA is not in control is perpetuated. In the meantime, NATO commanders find themselves not with a peacekeeping policy in Kosovo, but a KLA management policy. That was entirely predictable. "When we entered Kosovo there was still fighting going on and without a doubt the KLA had seen NATO and the air campaign as all part of what they were doing," concedes NATO's Gen. Jackson, "But time's moved on." It certainly has. NATO served as the KLA's unwitting errand boy, which was the KLA's aim all along, and now the KLA is advancing on to its next goals: ruling over Kosovo and pursuing a Greater Albania. Both those goals, of course, contradict NATO's calls for the creation of a multi-ethnic democracy in Kosovo and could bring NATO peacekeepers and the KLA into direct conflict. They also bode ill for Balkan stability--an ostensible goal of NATO's occupation in the first place.

The editor is cheered or remorseful as appropriate and posts some of the more interesting messages at http://prorev.com/letters.htm -- THE MEDIACRATS A good test of media quality is to check out what they say about your own hometown. If they can't get that right, how can they possibly understand Moscow or Jakarta? As a Washington native I get a lot of practice in this -- especially reading the New York Times, which regular mangles descriptions of the local city, and the Washington Post, whose reporters often seem to be on foreign assignment when writing about DC. In July, the NYT sent a foreign correspondent to the locale of the Review's summer headquarters, Casco Bay, Maine, with similar disastrous results, proving once again that the paper is not to be trusted abroad. Daisann McLane was, in best Manhattan fashion, so busy reading menus and price tags that she never actually got to see the place. Here, for example, is her description of one of the most beautiful stretches of water in America: "The Atlantic Ocean was out there, beyond the boats, but it was a rough, industrial Atlantic, not a vista you'd want to put on a postcard." She goes on a tour of Portland and ends up eating cheesecake with her guide: "'Izzy's cheesecake is the best in Portland,' he said, but quickly cautioned me that, as a New Yorker, I might have 'issues.' And I did: it had a good flavor, not too sweet, but it was overly creamy." Our sophisticated correspondent also found the clam chowder too creamy and referred to Maine's classic as "the old-fashioned side of Portland cuisine." On the other hand, "the more contemporary restaurants, like David's take standards like crab cakes and rework them into delicate light meditations on the classic theme. My endive salad, appetizer and char-grilled salmon betrayed an intelligent hand in the kitchen of the sort that you find at the better New York restaurants, for half as much as in New York." While she says a cruise around the islands is essential it apparently isn't as interesting as the cost of a hotel room or the amount of cream in the chowder.

The only person ever to go to Maine for its endive salad then visited Freeport, never leaving the main street's notorious outlet strip for nearby attractions including one of the best protected harbors on the coast and a highly popular waterfront eatery where the lobsters travel only feet from boat to plate. Still she declared that Freeport a town where the food was "awful" and "there were no fishermen, no docks, no lobsters ... and no trace of ocean smell." This didn't bother her too much for, after all, not only had she found a New York quality restaurant but she had "washed up in a safe harbor, where the sheets were clean and discounts deep." Transfer this sort of uninformed and jingoistic reportage to Kosovo and one has a serious problem. Maine, of course, takes it in stride.

Congress seems intent on holding Attorney General Janet Reno to her promise of a fully independent review of the evidence. But what is happening does not inspire much confidence. A plan to dispatch 40 FBI agents to re-interview everyone present that day is sure to produce conflicts in recollections that will never be resolved. Much better would be to seek out all contemporaneous documents and any physical evidence that might be had. A good first priority would be to settle once and for all what the U.S. Army's secret Delta Force anti-terrorist unit did the day the compound burned. "Everyone involved knows they were there. If there is an issue, it was what was their role at the time. Some of the evidence that I have reviewed and been made aware of is very problematical as to the role of Delta Force at the siege," said James B. Francis Jr., the chairman of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The Pentagon promptly said that any personnel on site were there as observers only--certainly not operational and not even in an advisory role. We can only hope that the physical evidence that Texas authorities have safeguarded can put this question to rest. Once that is settled, next would be to clear up exactly how the FBI came to possess and use military munitions on the scene. From there, it would be nice to know if any other military munitions aside from the exploding tear gas grenades were used. Such basic facts are needed in order to build up trust in any conclusions, as well as dampen the conspiratory zeal that has flourished in the absence of governmental honesty. http://www.dallasnews.com/texas_southwest/0826tsw1davidians.htm http://www.nandotimes.com/politics/story/0,1068,86539-136672-953639-0,00.h tml ** - - Depleting Causes - - A presidential oversight board last week concluded that there is no link between Gulf War illnesses and exposure to depleted uranium used in U.S. munitions. The finding by the Special Oversight Board on Gulf War Illness jibes with previous studies in that regard. The Pentagon uses uranium which has been depleted of its radioactivity because of the material's extreme density. That heft helps shells penetrate the skins of armored vehicles. "The board agrees with the conclusion that the available evidence does not support claims that depleted uranium is causing the undiagnosed illnesses some Gulf War veterans are experiencing," said the report. Thousands of veterans of the war have complained of maladies such as fatigue, joint pain, and memory loss, which they claim are related to their service in the Gulf. While the quest for some outside cause goes on, the most likely explanation--that the illnesses are psychosomatic--continues to get shunted aside. http://www.nando.net/politics/story/0,1068,86626-136787-954351-0,00.html Michael Fumento tried to quiet Gulf War syndrome hysteria at http://www.reason.com/9703/fe.fumento.html and http://www.reason.com/9706/fe.fumento.html * - - Readin', Writin', and Race - - Massachusetts is so intent on building a racial database of public school students that teachers will be asked to guess at a student's race if parents refuse to supply a racial classification on state forms.

Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and drink thy water with trembling and with carefulness." (Ezekiel 12:18) Grim reports about our water supplies and sources have been much in the news lately. A crisis of biblical proportions is at hand. USA Today newspaper, in an eye-opening special supplement (Oct. 21, 1998) titled "Drinking Water's Hidden Dangers," listed a growing number of threats to America's water supply. The report also described a rash of waterborne illnesses plaguing America's citizens, including severe nausea, diarrhea, fevers, and deaths. The newspaper further noted that in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1993, a devastating parasite infecting the city's water system actually killed 111 people and made a staggering 403,000 more violently sick. "River Blindness" Plagues Africa As bad as was the situation in Milwaukee, in Africa, things are tragically worse. News reports tell us that up to ten million Nigerians are currently afflicted with onchocerciosis, a horrible disease known as "river blindness." Overall, over 150,000 victims have been left permanently blind from this disease, which is now rampant in 16 African countries. Health authorities fear that a similar outbreak of "river blindness" might soon erupt in the United States. In Israel, A National Catastrophe In the nation of Israel, authorities recently announced that a "national catastrophe" exists because the whole country's water supply is found to be packed with dangerous, parasitic bacteria. Declaring the water system "on the edge of collapse," Environmental Minister Dalia Itzik requested that the Israeli Knesset (Parliament) set up an "emergency water regime." The damage, said Itzik, is "irreversible."

[CTRL] Thoghts on Freemasonry
-Caveat Lector- http://www.crocker.com/~acacia/antim.html Books on Freemasonry - descriptions of content by Acacia Press.. http://www.crocker.com/~acacia/ Thoughts on Freemasonry, links to the JFK assassination conspiracy cover-up and challenges to social justice Based on the writings of these antimasonic authors, we find: The first Grand Lodge of Freemasonry was founded in England in 1717. The creation of this lodge is a milestone in the transformation of what was a trade guild into a secret society. Freemasonry was instituted, "to dupe the simple for the benefit of the crafty." (pg. 33, Proceedings of the U.S. Anti-Masonic Convention, 1830). Masonic rituals teach a value systems that can be viewed as a religion or cult. In the past Masonic authors have described Freemasonry as a "universal religion" which encompasses all faiths. The religious aspects appear to be an amalgamation of religious beliefs and myths taken from Christianity and Egyptian sun worship. Freemasonry has been condemned by many Christian faiths, but Masons have blunted or reversed many of these condemnations as the membership has successfully worked to marginalize or eliminate opponents and position themselves in the leadership of many religious organizations. Modern Freemasonry continues to use religious constructs, but denies being a religion. Freemasons are intensely focused on maintaining secrecy and will retaliate against those who violate their oaths or transgress against brother masons. The legend of Hiram Abiff, the Masonic Christ figure, describes how Hiram was killed while keeping a Masonic secret. His brother Freemasons killed Hiram's assaulters and raised Hiram from the grave. Freemasons are encouraged to model themselves after Hiram and hold their Masonic secrets. If they remain true to their oaths, like Hiram, they can expect to be avenged for attacks and rewarded for their fidelity to the brotherhood. While cases exist suggesting the murder of opponents of Freemasonry, Masonic rituals state "the more effective penalty for doing anything displeasing to Masonry is to be shunned by the entire Brotherhood, a penalty adequate to bring a man to ruin, the more certainly so as Freemasonry expanded in every profession and every branch of society" (pg. 31, The Brotherhood, Stephan Knight, 1984). Freemasonry has traditionally had many ranks or degrees and has been rigidly hierarchical. Master Masons were "sworn to obey all the edicts, whims, etc., of those high and mighty grand sublime Sublimities" (pg. 24, Masonic Salvation, Fred Husted, circa 1910) above them. Furthermore, Freemasons held: "The covenant is irrevocable. Even though a Mason may be suspended or expelled, though he may withdraw from the lodge, journey into countries where Masons cannot be found or become a subject of despotic governments that persecute or a communicant of bigoted churches that denounce Masonry, he cannot cast off or nullify his Masonic covenant (oath of obligation). No law of the land can affect it. No anathema of the church can weaken it. It is irrevocable" (pg. 56, Masonic Salvation, Fred Husted, circa 1910). In the past Freemasons were sworn to show favoritism in advancing the interests of brother Freemasons. The royal arch mason swore, "I will promote a companion royal arch mason's political preferment, in preference to another of equal qualifications" (pg. 9, The Address of the U.S. Anti-Masonic Convention, 1830). From the first obligation of the thrice illustrious knight of the cross, the candidate under oath received the following injunctions: "You promise to lead a life as upright and just, in relation to all mankind, as you are capable of; but in matters of difference, to prefer the interests of a companion of the order... to any mere man of the world" (pg. 10, The Address of the U.S. Anti-Masonic Convention, 1830). Masons claim their oaths no longer overtly promote favoritism, but many Masons would not deny that Masonic credentials can be weighed in selecting candidates for employment or promotion. It is also clear that many people join Masonry for the social and economic advantages that flow from membership. While not overtly encouraged to participate in criminal activity, Freemasons were sworn to protect their brother Freemasons should they engage in immoral or criminal conduct. The royal arch mason swore, " I will aid and assist a companion royal arch mason, when engaged in any difficulty, and espouse his cause, so far as to extricate him from the same, if in my power, whether he be right or wrong... A companion royal arch mason's secrets, given me in charge as such, and I knowing him to be such, shall remain as secure and inviolable, in my breast as in his own, murder and treason not excepted, c" (pg. 9,

[CTRL] Forbes Family--1
-Caveat Lector- In answer to the question of a day or two ago about the background of the Forbes family, here's an article of interest from: http://www.weberman.com/nodules/nodule9.htm MICHAEL PAINE: RUTH PAINE'S ESTRANGED HUSBAND Although her husband lived nearby and visited her frequently, Ruth Paine was separated from Michael Ralph Paine while she knew OSWALD. On November 13, 1963, Ruth Paine filed a petition for a divorce from Michael Paine in Domestic Relations Court. This petition stated they were married on December 28, 1957, and separated on September 1, 1962: "This petition alleged that about six months before their separation, Michael Paine commenced a course of unkind, cruel, harsh and tyrannical treatment and conduct toward Ruth Paine of such a nature as to render their future living together insupportable." [DK-105-1716-Hosty] Wilmer Joseph Stratton, a close friend of Ruth Paine, told the FBI that Ruth Paine, in the past, "complained of the fact that Michael Paine was so engrossed in his activities that he spent little time with his family and when with them, he was so absorbed in his thoughts and plans that he rarely discussed family matters or showed an interest in any way with problems concerning Ruth or other members of the family." Paul Lacy, the best man at Michael and Ruth Paine's wedding stated: "He had never gotten to know Michael Paine due to his reserved disposition. He said that he knew of no close friends or associates of Paine's. He stated Paine is the type of person who while friendly, is very quiet an uncommunicative and involves himself in his own affairs and never takes time to seek out friendly relations with other people or to become interested in other people or their activities." In 1960 Michael Paine inherited money from his maternal grandmother, Elsie Cabot Forbes. Under terms of her will, each of her 15 grandchildren were to receive equal shares of a fund when they reached the age of 21. The appraised value of Michael Paine's share of this fund as of January 1, 1963, was $269,000.00 MICHAEL PAINE'S FAMILY HISTORY MICHAEL PAINE'S MATERNAL GRANDMOTHER Michael Ralph Paine was born into the Paine and Forbes families on June 25, 1928. He attended Harvard University and was dropped because of low grades. He was noted as being shy and lazy. His only activities were Glee Club, Bach Coral Group and Outing Club. He then worked at the prestigious Bartol Scientific Research Foundation at Swathmore University. He served in the U.S. Army from July 15, 1952, to April 28, 1954, and received an Honorable Discharge. His military service record contained the statement dated July 15, 1952: "The following inductee, Paine, was inducted today but refused to take the oath of allegiance." [FBI 105-82555 NR 12.17.63] Like Ruth Hyde, Michael Paine's family also traced back to the CIA. Michael Paine's maternal grandmother, Elise Cabot Forbes, was the brother of Thomas Dudley Cabot, the President of United Fruit in 1948. Michael Paine commented: "He was active in the United Fruit Company. I only know we were related to the Cabots through Elise, my grandmother. I wouldn't recognize a Cabot, I've never seen one." The brother of Thomas Dudley Cabot, John Moors Cabot, was the Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs during OPERATION PB SUCCESS. John Moors Cabot visited Guatemala and reported: "Jacobo Arbenz had the pale, cold-lipped look of the ideologue and showed no interest in my suggestions for a change in his government's direction. He had obviously sold out to the communists, and that was that." John Moors Cabot held a large block of shares in United Fruit. [Mooney, Brown, Truman to Carter, p77 as cited in Washington Silhouettes] During the Truman Administration, John Moors Cabot was the Director of the International Security Affairs Office for the Department of State. In 1961 he offered the use of one of his companies, Gibraltar Steamship, to the CIA during the Bay of Pigs. Ruth Paine commented that these personages were "out of where I come from." MICHAEL PAINE'S MOTHER: RUTH FORBES The mother of Michael Paine was Ruth Forbes. Ruth Forbes was a great-granddaughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Ruth Forbes grandfather, who died in 1937, had been a founder and former president of American Telephone and Telegraph. MICHAEL PAINE'S MATERNAL UNCLES: THE FORBES Michael Paine commented, "Uncle Cam [Cameron], W.C. Forbes, yes, there were five brothers there, actually one of them died earlier, but five that I knew. Forbes was Governor of the Philippines and Ambassador to Japan." David Cabot Forbes was another of Michael Paine's maternal uncles. David Cabot Forbes was a distinguished Bostonian financier who owned Naushon Island, located a half-mile from Cape Cod. David C. Forbes told the United States Secret Service that "during the summer months Paine and his wife Ruth usually came to Naushon Island, at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and remained there a few weeks each summer,

[CTRL] Dumb And Getting Dumber
-Caveat Lector- Dumb students are not just a US phenonomen. Worldwide, students are becoming dumber. The New Dumb World Order? Or is the N.W.O. dependent on world wide mass stupidity? flw THE TIMES September 1 1999 EUROPE Charles Bremner on the exam howlers that signal a decline in French education 'Capitalism was a remarkable idea by Marx' MANY French school-leavers are passing the admired baccalaureate examination barely able to express their thoughts and with only the haziest idea of history and culture, according to two teachers. Inured to laments about declining standards, the educational establishment will find it harder to dismiss their book's conclusions, drawn from answers to this year's baccalaureate tests. Guy Morel and Daniel Tual-Loizeau, who teach in a lycée at Le Mans, procured hundreds of marked papers as ammunition for their attempt to sound the alarm over the dumbing down of the examination that still serves in Britain and elsewhere as a model of educational rigour. Timed for a launch with next week's new school year, Educational Horror makes grim reading for those parents and state officials who have been comforting themselves with the thought that 70 per cent of pupils take le bac, with an 80 per cent pass rate. "Far from being little geniuses, today's lycéens on the whole have no or little mastery of basic knowledge," say the teachers, who blame the State and teachers for rewarding linguistic incompetence and ignorance. They say papers are being passed with "incomprehensible sentences, syntactic incoherence . . . and gross geographical and historical confusions". Among gems, they cite: "Capitalism was a remarkable idea by Karl Marx"; "Victor Hugo wrote Ruy Blas while Georges Pompidou (President, 1969-74) was reigning over France." Poor grasp of literary criticism was typified by lines such as: "Jacques Prévert (the 20th-century poet) wrote Paroles because he was going out at night and had things to say." Asked what type of verse Hugo used, another replied: "Language with a lot of punctuation." The teachers also lambasted colloquial style, such as "Madame de Warens is Rousseau's girlfriend. Rousseau was with Madame Bazile, but he got dumped . . . he blew his chances." On geography, pupils could usually identify only those French towns that have first division football teams and almost none could place the Saône, a major river. The authors make much of gaffes in syntax and spelling, the bane of pupils because so many word endings are not pronounced. In one telling howler, a candidate wrote: "Dès l'enfance, on est ensaigné par la TV" - "From childhood we are blooded by television." What was meant was "enseigné" - educated. Such sloppiness was hardly surprising, the authors say, given that no less an authority than Claude Allegre, Minister of Education, committed a howler last year when he wrote in the visitors' book at an agricultural fair: "On voit que la recherche à penetrée le monde agricole." An Alevel student would know that when saying "one sees that research has penetrated the agricultural world"' there should be no accent over the a and no extra e on penetré. The two teachers say that everyone is aware of the crumbling standards, but neither the State, teachers nor parents are "ready to break the taboo and question the way in which these [examination] results are achieved." The main complaint, that teachers are forced to boost pupils' self-esteem at the expense of basic standards, is a familiar one elsewhere, but less so in France where the system has long prized knowledge and rigour.

I want to thank you for coordinating and sharing all the information you did regarding that day. The August 11th events were preceded by about a week of higher than usual energy and very little sleep - the body felt August 11th coming on a very cellular level. The most incredible experience for the body was actually on the afternoon of August 9th - about 36 hours before the worldwide meditation. In Santa Barbara, a light worker was sitting with me when this body was flung back onto the couch as flashes of a former body being dragged through the streets to its death passed before these eyes - then hundreds of other deaths followed - burnings, stakes through the heart, etc. There have been many, many lifetimes of being persecuted for my spiritual teachings and beliefs. Yet, on 8/9/99, they were blown away in 10 minutes and my calling in this lifetime to do Satsang (spiritual teaching of non-duality/advaita) has been deeply anchored. No more shadows or lurking beliefs around persecution for speaking Truth - the transformation of this ancient belief already speaks to what is happening cosmically! All that remains is love! In fact, I have started writing a book this week to share the truth with the world. The night of August 10th to the morning of the 11th, this body did not sleep at all until after the morning (3-5 AM) meditation. While most of my neighbors here in Southern California were sleeping, there was a group meditation at my home of 4 people and there were 3 other friends meditating at their homes as well.

[CTRL] Luke Ford- JFK Jr. A Homo
-Caveat Lector- How is JFK Jr like a penguin? Both are cute but can't fly. From Luke Ford Wire Services, Ltd: Was JFK Jr. Bisexual? Some stories are too true to be good--which is why the tale of JFK Jr.s secret life had to wait until Camelots crown jewels were scattered forever upon the high seas. Lukeford.com obtained the documents that follow from a former supermarket-tabloid operative who was a visible presence--with at least one bylined JFK Jr. story to his credit--on the early-Nineties JFK Jr. newsbeat. It is lukeford.coms postition that these remembrances of JFK Jr. adhere to enough principles of contemporary journalism--as practiced in, say, New York Magazines Intelligencer column--to warrant publication...if only as a colorful artifact of a vanished era. John-John, we hardly knew ye! According to George Wayne, a longtime columnist, photographer and nightlife arbiter elegantiae of Paper magazine and Vanity Fair, "John Kennedy Jr is one of the most gender-confused personalities of our time. His bisexuality is legendary in nightlife circles up and down the Eastern seaboard, in Manhattan, in the Hamptons, on Cape Cod. The only reason this fact has never come out in the media is because there are other reputations at stake besides John's. These scenes are heavily populated by other switch-hitters like John, who also come from prominent families and occupy positions of power and influence. It's a social climate where everybody's got something to hide. You know what they say about Catholic boys who get sent away to expensive boarding schools? Well, it's all true. And that's why you find John in clubs like the Underground--last known hangout of [homosexual] Malcolm Forbes--and Rex, where the scenes are awash in erotic ambiguity. The press is always speculating that John likes these places because that's where the fashion models and covergirls are. But it's a cardinal rule of nightclubs that whereever you find models, you'll also find gay men. You do the math. I happen to know for a fact that John had a three-way orgy with two friends of mine--a bisexual man and woman ---in the Hamptons two years ago. No, I'm not going to give you their names. But I was told that John had sex with both the woman and the man, although, in the case of the man, John just kind of lay back and let the man service him. It's no lie." January 8, 1991 Gay terrorists are threatening to accuse John Kennedy Jr. of being a homosexual in a shocking campaign that has already targeted such allegedly homosexual celebrities as Merv Griffin, John Travolta, Tom Selleck and Jodi Foster. A shadowy group of gay guerrillas known as "Outpost" are plastering New York City with posters that parody the Absolut volka advertisements, except that, instead of a vodka bottle, the gay ads feature celebrity pictures along with the words "Absolutely Queer". Within weeks, the gay pranksters warn, Absolutely Queer John-John Kennedy posters will be going up all over Manhattan. "John Kennedy Jr.'s homosexuality is one of New York City's best kept secrets," declared Dr. James Serafini, an openly gay psychiatrist who is a co-conspirator in the Outpost scheme. "And now we're going to share it with the rest of the world. Our poster campaigns against other gay celebrities have gotten nationwide attention, and now, whether he likes it or not, John-John is about to be dragged out of the closet. He'd better brace himself." New York City homosexuals are gleefully awaiting the smear campaign against Kennedy. Said Lou Malebta, who operates the pornographic Gay Cable Network: "This John-John Kennely zap has been a long time coming. It is shocking and insulting to the gay community that, in the midst of a deadly epidemic, a gay man of his power and influence would turn his back on his gay brothers and sisters. He has taken refuge in shame and secrecy, and now the gay community intends to reveal aim as the homosexual that he really is. There's nothing like a Kennedy story when it comes to getting results." Here are just a few of the astonishing charges that sources throughout the gay community have leveled at John-John: --That he frequents the same, gay nightclubs as homosexual billionaire Malcom Forbes. --That he engaged in an orgy with another man and a woman... And that he performed a homosexual act with the man. --That he is frequently sighted on an East Hampton gay beach. What's more, John John is continually being courted by his many gay admirers. Revealed another member of the OutPost: "Last year, when John Kennedy passed the New York and Connecticut bar examination, he was besieged by gushing congratulatory letters from his many gay fans." And in a shocking homosexual love poem called "Some Adventures of John Kennedy Jr.," prominent gay author Dennis Cooper describes the pornographic fantasies that John-John inspires in gay males. Said a gay publishing insider: "Tens of thousands of gay readers have encountered John-John as a gay object of

The move comes one day after the situation turned critical when a Waco federal prosecutor warned Reno that lawyers within her department had long withheld evidence that the FBI fired pyrotechnic tear gas within hours before the compound burned... MORE... JUSTICE DEPT FIGHTS JUDGE OVER CONTROL OF EVIDENCE Meanwhile, the DALLAS MORNING NEWS is reporting in hot Wednesday editions: U.S. Justice Department lawyers on Tuesday challenged a federal judge's authority to take control over evidence in the Branch Davidian case, setting up a high-stakes legal showdown. Judge Smith's ruling came as a result of a motion filed by the Texas Department of Public Safety [DPS] which had been housing the evidence. The motion argues that the DPS believed the Justice Department was using them in order to keep the evidence from being available to the public. In a 19-page motion, Justice lashed out at U.S. District Judge Walter Smith: "It should be plain... that separation of powers prevents a federal court from acting as an independent investigator..." The Justice Department argued: The judge's move "threatens a wholesale intrusion" into the Executive Branch and an "unwarranted and substantial burden" on the entire federal government. MORE... "The Justice Department is pretending it now wants an independent investigation, and at the same time they are doing this: hiding the evidence," observed one insider. MORE... DALLAS MORNING NEWS reporter quotes DPS commission Chairman James Francis Jr.: "I think it's very unfortunate that the Justice Department would try to prevent the federal court in Waco from gaining access to all of the evidence in light of everything that's happened in the last week... From what I can understand of the Justice Department's motion today, they're still attempting to prevent the evidence from being judicially reviewed. And I think that is most unfortunate." [Editor's note: Francis is a political appointee of Texas Gov. George Bush. He is also a top fund-raiser for Bush's presidential campaign. Francis told NEWSWEEK that his involvement in the developing Waco situation was pure coincidence. "I'm trying not to be political," he told the magazine, adding he hasn't even talked to Bush about new Waco revelations.] DALLAS MORNING NEWS reporter Hancock also follows up on Tuesday's blockbuster -- that a federal prosecutor is in possession of documents that point to a Justice Department cover-up of Waco. Bill Johnston, the longstanding federal prosecutor in Waco, gives further detail on the three page document in his possession: "I have evidence that these notes were in the possession of the torts branch. I know that the lawsuit [a wrongful death suit filed on behalf of the victims of Waco] began to focus on these issues of whether pyrotechnics were used several years ago, and the plaintiff's attorneys, who were alleging their use, specifically requested any documents the government had like this. I know that the plaintiffs never got the document once its full importance was known. And I now wonder whether the attorney general had knowledge of these. I'll bet Ms. Reno would have liked to have known long ago what this document contained."

[CTRL] Fwd: WACO: Media Black Out
FACT OMISSION EXPOSES MEDIA'S COVER-UP AGENDA (free to forward) 8/31/99 Ian Williams Goddard While the major media is covering Waco, their selection of facts to cover further exposes the major culprits in the Waco cover-up, the media. For six years the major media has spoon-fed the People "federal pabulum" with no regard for the shocking facts known to independent investigators. Observe now that the focus of virtually all major- media reports are two 40-millimeter pyrotechnic projectiles that were fired away from the main building hours before the fire on April 19, 1993. However, the Dallas Morning News article [1] (7/28/99) that triggered the new focus on Waco reported that SIX spent flash-bang grenades, which are also pyrotechnic projectiles, "were recovered from areas of the compound in which the fires broke out" -- areas that the FBI had flooded with potentially flammable agents. [2] Two spent flash bangs were found by Davidians before the April-19th fire, which were left over from the initial attack on February 28, 1993. The Davidians gave one of those two flash bangs to their attorney during the siege and kept the other in the building. [3] This suggests that at least five of the six flash bangs found may have entered the building AFTER Feb 28, which is consistent their being shot into the building on the last day, April 19. So the Big Story is that pyrotechnic devices were found in the areas where the fire started. However, the Big Story in almost all major-media reports is ONLY the two pyrotechnic devices that can NOT be associated with any fires or deaths. Also conspicuously absent from current major- media-news reports is the FLIR video, the main feature of McNulty's award-winning documentary "Waco: The Rules of Engagement." That FLIR video basically proves, according to multiple infrared- imaging experts, that the FBI fired machine guns into the Davidian's home before and as the fire broke out, focusing heavy fire on an area near the bunker where women and children were hiding. Except for one Washington Post report, I've also seen no mention in the major media of the latest footage in McNulty's new documentary that shows apparent machine-gun fire from helicopters down on the occupants of the church on April 19th.[4] So in fact, only two devices that have nothing to do with any deaths that occurred on April 19 are the virtually exclusive focus of major-media reports, while all the devices and videotaped gun shots that should have something to do with the deaths that occurred are being excluded from the vast majority of media reports. This would be the logical course of fact-omission necessary to assist in the cover-up of the Waco mass murder. CONCLUSIONARY OVERVIEW It can't be chance that in the Waco case, the TWA 800 case, the assassination of JFK and many other major cover-ups that the people who find the solid evidence that implicates the government are small-time independent investigators. With millions of dollars at their disposal, the investigative capabilities of the major media are awesome and probably unparalleled in the history of mankind, and yet the facts indicate that hardly a single penny is spent investigating the government and its claims. The more deaths associated with an incident, the less the major media investigates government claims, instead, they repeat official claims without question. Even the latest Waco news came only after two government officials (TDPS head James Francis and ex-FBI agent Danny Coulson) disputed the official story -- the actual facts were a secondary issue. The media only understands words from government officials. The major media may not deploy their vast resources to investigate our Gigantic Government, but they do deploy their resources to fabricate and promote stories specifically designed to maliciously destroy the reputations of small and independent investigators who dare to display the all-to-rare courage to second- guess the mass-murder machine that is the US Government. The media-establishment-maintained hoax is that the media is the watch-dog of the government. The reality is that the media is the government's relentless guard dog, attacking the People and protecting the killers. Six years of cover-up by the federal government of facts about Waco would not have been possible without the dedicated support of the major media. The Big Lie has been compromised only by independent investigators. The most-evidenced conclusion is that the major media have been accessories to the cover-up of mass murder. The fact that CBS 60-Minutes falsified their findings about the FLIR video when asked for their findings by a Congressional committee [5] stands as proof of the accessory indicated by the uniform media black out.

Anyone receiving a mailing of From The Wilderness or any of our products which contains racist material should immediately notify the FBI and the U.S. Postal Service. Try to handle the material as little as possible to preserve any possible fingerprint evidence. On August 16 I mailed to a new subscriber, one issue of FTW and a product catalogue. The mail was picked up from inside my security apartment building and destined for an address in Pasadena, CA, approximately 15 miles away. It did not arrive until yesterday, August 30. When it did arrive, the fill size, first class envelope had been surreptitiously tampered with so that it looked perfectly normal. Inside the envelope a single sheet of white paper had been inserted with large, computer generated letting reading, "Please no niggers allowed to buy these materials." The recipient, knowing how ludicrous this statement was, phoned me today and spoke with both me and an associate who originally mailed the package. As of this posting I have notified both the U.S. Postal Service and the LA FBI office. When I was asked if I had any suspects, I said that since I had been on more than 500 radio stations nationwide in the last two weeks talking about George W. and drugs - as the result of initial story I printed on July 28, 1999 - I suspected that the most likely suspects were Republicans connected to W's campaign.

[CTRL] Fwd: [CIA-DRUGS] THOSE WHO DISMANTLED OUR CONSTITUTION
Actually this is the page I meant to send last e-mail regarding the New England opium cartel and the Skull and Bones. Sorry. brian quig http://www.dcia.com/dismantl.html THOSE WHO DISMANTLED OUR CONSTITUTION by Brian Downing Quig First Published in the GRAPEVINE January 2, 1995 It is commonly assumed that there is no aristocracy, let alone a nobility, in America. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In his work, Ancestors of American Presidents, Gary Boyd Roberts of the New England Historic Genealogical Society reveals nineteen presidents descended from Edward III. John Galt (a pen name of a researcher fearing to be identified), in an unpublished manuscript (now in my possession), The Genealogy of the New World Order, has traced the royal ancestry of George Bush, which traces from Charlemagne and Alfred the Great, all the way down through George Bush's 32 presidential cousins! Sadly, this manuscript may remain unpublished. Galt and I were scheduled to do a 2 hour radio interview on Tom Valentine's Radio Free America, a shortwave broadcast that reaches 250,000 listeners who are especially attuned to such topics. Just two days before the interview, a fire burned down the transmitting station. Unfortunately, this fire, which involved no foul play, according to Valentine, frightened Galt who now refuses to communicate with me or anyone else on these matters. Nonetheless, I am convinced of the soundness of Galt's conclusions. I attended the Southwest Genealogical Conference, which met last year at the Hyatt Regency, downtown Phoenix, during which Galt presented the most controversial aspects of his work to the top authorities there. Everyone acquiesced to the depths of his knowledge. Several of the attendees were close personal friends of Gary Boyd Roberts. Both George Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush (of Merrill, Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Smith) are descended from the same Pierce family of England as President Franklin Pierce. Originally known as the enormously powerful Percy family of England, a name change to Pierce was required along with a quick immigration to America, when their involvement in the failed Gun Powder Plot to blow up Parliament became known. One of the Percy castles, where this plot was hatched was known as Sion House. Other notable Bush relatives include the Grovsner families of England and America, and the Taft family of Ohio. The Grovsners of England are the Dukes of Westminster who own the most substantial properties in the City of London --- the banker's capital. Of over 100,000 acres of Grovsner property, most is in the financial district of London! In America, the Grovsners founded Nation Geographic. National Geographic is known for sweeping down on the archeological treasures of the world, especially those of a religious significance, and spiriting them away to the Smithsonian Institute, controlled by their cousins the Smithsons, also descended from the Percys. Imposing false interpretations on religious finds is very important to the House of Sion. As interesting as these family affiliations are, it is the Taft family which turns out to be the most politically interesting. Although George Bush's official 1980 presidential candidate biography listed both his Presidency of the TRILATERAL COMMISSION and his membership in the YALE secret society SKULL AND BONES, no major news organization mentioned either of these telling affiliations. Let us take a closer look at SKULL AND BONES. SKULL AND BONES (S), was first established by the graduating class of 1832 of YALE UNIVERSITY by William Harrison Russell and Alphonso Taft, the father of President William Howard Taft. It is significant to note that Alphonso Taft was thereafter powerful enough to manipulate his son into both the presidency and the Chief Justiceship of the U.S. SUPREME COURT. Each year S graduating seniors would initiate only 15 new members...selected exclusively from the ranks of the offspring of the super wealthy. From the beginning, S was the recruiting grounds for William Harrison Russell's RUSSELL TRUST COMPANY which managed the SKULL AND BONES treasury. Founded in 1823, the RUSSELL TRUST COMPANY superseded the Perkins family to become the dominant opium trafficking syndicate in North America. The shipping manifests from those days have survived intact to make this claim solid. Russell's partners in this venture were those loyal to the Crown of ENGLAND, and this allegiance persists to this day with their descendants, who comprise what is known today as the EASTERN LIBERAL ESTABLISHMENT. Although there are more billionaires in AMERICA than in GREAT BRITAIN, the largest billionaires of AMERICA still cannot hold a candle to the largest billionaires of ENGLAND. The wealth of the Royal Family of GREAT BRITAIN and this Tory group in AMERICA was all founded on the illegal opium trade from TURKEY to CHINA. Today nothing has facilitated

Dr. Papke was born in 1944. He studied Biophysics, History of Philosophy and Science, Orientalistics and Science of Religion. In 1978 he made his Doctor's Degree at the University of Tübingen. He worked inter alia at the Institute for the History of Science in the German Museum and gave lectures at the University of Munich. Today he primarily devotes himself to the publication of his research-results. 4 B.C. or 2 B.C.? The Historical Evidence! The Year Of Christ's Birth by W. E. Filmer http://www.portaustin.org/birthjb.htm * Count backwards from Revelation 3:22 (He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches - KJV), 2000 verses (a verse for each year) through the scriptures. You land right on 1 Corinthians 15:51 which says: In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. So if you count a verse for each year, and by counting back 2000 verses (representing 2000 years of the "church age), you land right on 1 Corinthians 15:51. * In J.R. Church's latest "Prophecy in the News" magazine. He took the statehood date of Israel which was "May 14,1948" and multiplied the digits in this date. It came out to"5760." (5 x 1 x 4 x 1 x 9 x 4 x 8 = 5760) ** The date "Tishri 1" on the Jewish calendar this year falls on 9-11. Tom Gaston says the Hebrew gematria for Tishri 1 is: AlephTauShinReshYod =1 = 400 = 300 = 200 = 10 For a total of 911!!! Tom says: "What are the odds of adding the letter values of this very important date and producing the very day that it lands on in the Gregorian year 1999 or 5759. Not only that, but it is also the 'emergency' call number for help and disaster. I checked the calendar to see if I could find anymore Tishri 1 dates that would fall on the 9th month and the 11th day. I checked all the way to 2030 and didn't find any." ** Comments from Jim Bramlett: Tom Gaston found that May 14, 1948 = 5-14-1948 = 5X1X4X1X9X4X8 = 5760 (the Jewish year beginning September 11, 1999). Today I was reminded of the following from Bonnie Gaunt: September 11, 1999 = 9-11-1999 = 9X1X1X1X9X9X9 = 6561. If September 11, 1999 is "as it was in the days of Noah," isn't it fascinating that: 6561 is the mirror of the year of the flood in Noah's day, 1656 from Adam. 6561 is also the gematria for verses 3-5 of Psalm 93, which Bonnie Gaunt believes speaks of the Tribulation. Those same three verses also contain 666, 576 (5760 without the zero), and 2520 (the length of the tribulation period). * A WORD OF PROPHECY by Yacov Rambsel Bible Code Research within Ezekiel 38. Ezekiel 38:1-4; And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Mechech and Tubal, and prophesy against him, And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal; And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. This is a prophecy which refers to Russia and could be fulfilled in the very last days of this year or the beginning of the next year. One of my main thoughts on this invasion is that it could occur around the time of the year 2000. Many centuries ago, Ezekiel, while writing this book, was moved by the Holy Spirit to write the exact words of Hebrew for this prophecy. With His sovereign power and
[CTRL] homo video slipped into public schools-most parents unaware
-Caveat Lector- http://www.reagan.com/HotTopics.main/HotMike/document-8.31.1999.7.html "Its Elementary" Video Lies to the Children about Homosexuality Death is the Real Face of Practicing Homosexuality By Mary Mostert, Analyst, Original Sources, (www.originalsources.com) August 31, 1999 In my travels to the Chicago area I find that the video Its Elementary: Talking About Gay Issues in School has been backed by Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, through Mary Morten, identified as Daleys liaison on gay and lesbian issues. It appears that the video, which is being shown on many Public Service TV channels, is being slipped into the public school system throughout the nation without the knowledge of most parents. Chicago school officials - who stress that Its Elementary will not be shown to students - are a tad skittish about talking about their plan. the Associated Press reported yesterday. They confirm that the districts 589 principals will view the film beginning in September and receive a copy of the video for their schools - a plan funded by lesbian tennis star Billie Jean King. But several teachers whove already viewed the film on their own declined to be interviewed out of fear of criticism. The city official who helped get the film - in part due to backing from Chicago Mayor Richard Daley - into the district was more forthcoming. She says the decision was aimed at fostering tolerance and, in turn, preventing violence against gay and lesbian students. Its practical. It makes good sense. Its about safety for children. I don t think anybody regardless of their religious background, can argue with that, Mary Morten said. In San Francisco, the recognised Homosexual Capital of America, school officials not only are using Its Elementary they have imposed a ban on anti-gay slurs. The First Amendment not longer applies in Elementary School. "Its Elementary" was written and produced by Womens Educational Media which, according to their website, (http://www.womedia.org/our/elem.html) was intended for an adult audience. So, when school administrators emphasize its not being shown to students they are deceiving parents. It s not SUPPOSED to be shown to students. Its intended as a film to teach educators how to discuss gay issues with their students in age-appropriate ways and was shot in first through eighth grade classrooms across the United States. It was filmed by Debra Chasnoff and producer Helen S. Cohen. In the video, at one point, a teen ager says, Schools should teach the facts about homosexuality. Good point. Does the video teach facts? No. After reading the AP story that this film was about safety for children the natural question would be, Does the film address safety for children? No. Does the film actually teach ANYTHING truthful about homosexuality? At one point, a student, finding out for the first time that a teacher is a homosexual says she found out that the homosexual teacher is just like any other teacher. Is that true? No. The teachers in the video - from San Francisco, Madison, Wisconsin and New York undoubtedly teach children in their classes about the dangers of SMOKING, which can shorten their lives by 8 years. In fact, almost everything taught about smoking is not how to do it, but the dangers of doing it. Is the same approach used in the video? Im afraid not. The Womens Education Media idea of teaching about homosexuality and about safety issues is described as follows: Q: Why is this kind of education necessary? A: Negative language about gay and lesbian people is common on the playground, in school hallways and classrooms, on playgrounds, and even in teachers' lounges. Many children and school employees are adversely affected. For example, an estimated 6 to 11 percent of school children have gay or lesbian parents or siblings, and another 5 to 9 percent will at some point figure out that they themselves are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or Transgender. These children are now being taught that either they or the people they love most are sick and perverted. Q: Aren't elementary and middle school children too young to be introduced to this topic? Shouldn't we wait until they're older? A: As you can see in IT'S ELEMENTARY, very young children have already been introduced to gay and lesbian matters. Negative name-calling begins as early as first grade. And long before they grasp the meaning of the words, they've heard or witnessed many negative images about being gay and gay people. So it's not possible for a school to introduce these topics. What a school can do is create a safe environment for children to ask questions, consider what they're hearing and seeing, and be given some accurate information. Q: What about parents who don't want their children to learn about gay sex? A: We agree that it's inappropriate for schools to teach young children about gay sex. But think about all the stories children read about mommies and daddies. Just as

[CTRL] U.S. Prepares For Possible Y2K Violence
-Caveat Lector- (Maybe they'll even be able to declare marshall law. --SW) U.S. Prepares For Possible Y2K Violence August 31, 1999 By Jim Wolf WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government is preparing for possible violence from cults, guerrillas, hate groups and end-of-world-fearing zealots as 2000 approaches. Law enforcement officials are working on contingency plans to cope with everything from cyber attacks to bombs at New Year's Eve parties, though they say they lack knowledge of specific, credible threats. The Federal Bureau of Investigation "expects to see increased and possibly violent activities among certain domestic groups related to the millennium," a top FBI official warned Congress in July. Michael Vatis, head of a new FBI-led interagency center to protect critical U.S. infrastructure, cited in particular a fringe view among white supremacists that the world is on the verge of a final apocalyptic struggle. This requires the faithful "to prepare for the Second Coming of Christ by taking violent action against their enemies," Vatis told a special Senate panel in July on the Y2K technology glitch. The panel is looking into pitfalls of the Y2K problem, a coding glitch that could cause ill-prepared computers to misread 2000 as 1900 and trigger system-wide shutdowns. Vatis did not cite possible targets but FBI Director Louis Freeh has said they included Jews, non-whites and their "establishment allies, i.e. the federal government." The FBI counter-terrorism section "has been planning for any violent activity by such groups," said Vatis, who is leading a separate drive to thwart cyber attacks that could disrupt the economy or government. At issue is the fear that Jan. 1, 2000, may seem like a watershed date for fanatics ready to put end-of-world rhetoric into action. Robert Blitzer, who retired last November as head of the FBI's domestic counter-terrorism arm, cited the case of Buford Furrow Jr., the white supremacist who pleaded not guilty Monday to killing a Filipino-American letter carrier after shooting up a Jewish community center in the Los Angeles area. Furrow turned himself in to the FBI after the Aug. 10 attacks. He allegedly told authorities the shooting was a "wake up call to America to kill Jews." Groups with similar views or apocalyptic cults like Heaven's Gate, 30 of whose members committed mass suicide in 1997, may deem the rollover to 2000 "a good time for them to make their mark on history," said Blitzer. "I know there are still continuing to be serious threats from abroad," added Blitzer, who now consults on counter-terrorism at the Science Applications International Corporation in McLean, Virginia. He was unaware of any specific credible threats but said foreign foes had already shown what they were capable of in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing in New York. Freeh has warned Congress that white supremacist extremists may stage armed robberies to finance what some view as the coming "Battle of Armageddon" between the forces of good and evil. Some of these extremists believe that this entails whites fighting "Satan's heirs," the FBI chief told a Senate Appropriations panel on Feb. 4. In such a world view, he said, "Satan's heirs" were defined as Jews, non whites and their supposed allies in the federal government, John Gordon, deputy director of the U.S. intelligence community, said the CIA and its 12 sister spy outfits were tightening their drills to monitor events at the date change. "We are strengthening the communications processes between centers," he told a Senate Armed Services panel on Feb. 24. "We are preparing for the potential that there may be situations erupting worldwide and within our own systems environment." In addition to the perceived threat from within, U.S. officials fear anti- Western guerrilla groups and others may try to take advantage of the federal stretch to keep tabs on any Y2K related failures. The White House is setting up a $40 million information coordination center to help policymakers with Year 2000 issues and coordinate any emergency responses. "In some instances, it may not be immediately apparent whether a service outage is the result of the 'millennium bug' or a computer intrusion," Vatis testified. Such uncertainty could make Y2K an inviting date for malicious strikes, officials said. Together with a Pentagon task force for computer network defense, Vatis's National Infrastructure Protection Center will hold a classified, two-day conference called "Preparing for Cyberwar," including Y2K contingencies, in early October.

[CTRL] armor experts flown to Waco in civilian clothes
-Caveat Lector- TUESDAY AUGUST 31 1999 FBI, Justice kept military role quiet New memo shows armor experts flown to Waco in civilian clothes By Besty Gibson © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com A new memo obtained by WorldNetDaily suggests the FBI deliberately sought to conceal that it had an top military armor expert visit Waco to "assess" the situation, then meet with Attorney General Janet Reno to discuss "tactical contingency plans that may be used to bring the situation in Waco, Texas, to an end." The memo, signed by Michael E. O'Connor, Army Operations Command watch officer, meticulously notes that it is "the Department of Justice thru (sic) the FBI" that has "requested two soldiers by name," and that the loan of the two, Brigadier General Schoomaker and Colonel William "Jerry" Boykin, to the FBI for such a mission has been approved by a General Heldstab. The memo goes on to record that top executive officers, major Army commands such as Three Corps and Force Command and the U.S. Army Special Operations Command were also informed. "The FBI," the memo states, "will handle travel arrangements." According to WorldNetDaily's Special Forces source, it is a revealing break in protocol to have such military officers transported by the FBI. More properly they would travel by military or civilian aircraft. But using either of those methods of transport would mean that their names and ranks would be recorded on a flight manifest. Furthermore, having a military aircraft land at Waco would have certainly attracted attention and questions. By contrast, by breaking with protocol and transporting these two Delta Force officers via FBI plane or helicopter, and having them dress in civilian clothes, their identity would be neither known to observers nor recorded in any manifest. WorldNetDaily's source believes that the military author of the memo, O'Connor, might have been registering his queasiness with the break in protocol represented by the FBI by adding a note on the bottom to Major Wells that says "BG Shoomaker (sic) told my watch NCO (SFC Savage) that the FBI plans to pick him at Fort Hood and fly him first to Waco to assess the situation, and then on to Washington. He was not sure if MG Heldstab was aware of those plans when he approved the mission. Just wanted you to be current!" In the opinion of WorldNetDaily's military source it is telling that in the five years since the two officers in the memo met with Reno about Waco, they have, between them, collected six stars -- a nearly unprecedented rate of advancement. Boykin, then a colonel has gained three stars to become a lieutenant general in command of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, and Schoomaker, then a brigadier general, quickly gained three stars to become commander in chief of the United States Special Operations Command, the ultimate leader of all Special Forces units, Ranger units, Air Force Special Operations wings and all Navy Seals, making him arguably one of the most powerful men in the military, after the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The memo follows below: ODS (ODS is handwritten at the top) Dept. of Justice Request - Waco, Texas The Department of Justice thru the FBI, requested two soldiers by name, to meet with the Attorney General on 14 April 93, concerning tactical contingency plans that may be used to bring the situation in Waco, Texas to an end. These personnel are; BG Shoomaker, ADC, 1st CAV DIV, and COL Boykin, Sec Ops, at Fort Bragg, NC. These soldiers have extensive special operations experience, and have worked with the FBI on previous occasions. MG Heldstab has approved this mission, and both have been notified. The Top 6 XOs. FORSCOM, III Corps, and USASOC were also informed. The FBI will handle travel arrangements. (O'Conner's signature is here) Michael E. O'Connor CPT, FA AOC WATCH OFFICER MAJ Wells, This is what I wrote up and gave to Col (P) Ohle early this morning. BG Shoomaker told my watch NCO (SFC Savage) that the FBI plans to pick him at Fort Hood and fly him first to Waco to assess the situation, and then on to Washington DC. He was not sure if MG Heldstab was aware of those plans when he approved the mission. Just wanted you to be current! --- © 1999 WorldNetDaily.com, Inc.

Russia's Justice Ministry said the decree contradicted federal law and should be rescinded, but Aushev has remained defiant. Three men in Ingushetia have taken advantage of the decree.

Re: [CTRL] [Fwd: FW: MI6 the Media - Super Sleuths]
-Caveat Lector- Re secret agencies' use of journalists: See also Covert Action magazine. They did most of an issue on "The CIA and the Media" dated Spring-Summer 1983. Includes some interesting stuff on ownership of the media, the plot to kill the pope, democracy as a cover story, and some disinformationists who are still around and functioning today. I would suspect power elements would be using hypnotised journalists as well, but that is just a personal comment. It is issue 19, and back copies are available from CAQ, 1500 Massachusetts Ave. NW, #732, Washington, DC 20005 at US$8 - or credit card order at fax (USA) 202-331-9751, or e-mail them at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lyn AC Szul Jr ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: I vaguely recall a site that talks more about this same topic, but can't place the URL. Anyone? Original Message - From: Para [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 1999 1:40 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI6 the Media MI6 the Media - SUPER SLEUTHS - The allegation that Sunday Telegraph editor Dominic Lawson is an MI6 spy has raised the spectre of links between the media and intelligence services. A former agent, who cannot be named, provides a compelling insight. "M16 has an entire highly secret department dedicated to manipulating media opinion" Journalism and spying have a long and intertwined history. Graham Greene and Somerset Maugham are just two of the better-known journalists who have crossed the blurred line into the intelligence world. Both professions have a great deal in common, benefit each other and compete with each other. Inevitably there always has been, and always will be, close contact between the two sides. Until the recent allegation in the House of Commons by the Labour M.P. Brian Sedgemore, that Dominic Lawson, editor of the Sunday Telegraph, is a paid agent of MI6, the extent of the co-operation between M16 and elements of the British media has been a keenly guarded secret, kept quiet even within MI6 itself. Lawson denies the allegation, but there is nothing particularly wrong with journalists mixing in the intelligence world and using spies as sources, as long as the information from such sources is treated with the same scepticism and impartiality as information from any other source. However, clearly there is everything wrong with a journalist or worse an editor, acting as an agent of a state intelligence service, particularly one as politically unaccountable as MI6. Most Western governments recognise the dangers of such collaboration and have strict rules and guidelines governing the degree of contact between their intelligence services and their media. Even the CIA, which wields more power in its country's policies than most other Western intelligence services, is prohibited from cultivating contacts in the American media. But no such strictures apply to MI6. Indeed, MI6 has an entire department, known as "Information Operations", or "I/Ops" for short, dedicated to manipulating media opinion. The existence and operations of I/Ops are kept secret even within MI6 itself, such is its obvious sensitivity. Normally, it is only when officers reach a relatively senior level and are posted overseas that they are briefed into its activities and key assets. The scope and objectives of information operations performed by the intelligence services are varied and often highly imaginative. The bread-and-butter work is in massaging public opinion into accepting controversial foreign policy decisions. The plethora of media stories about Saddam Hussein's chemical and biological weapons capability was no accident - the ante was upped so that there would be less of a public outcry when the bombs started to fall. Sometimes the objective may be to influence events in another country or organisation in a direction favourable to Britain. For example, MI6 made a determined (but unsuccessful) effort to plant discrediting stories in the American press about Boutros Boutros Ghali, whom they regarded as dangerously Francophile, in the run up to the 1992 elections for UN secretary-general. Often, the intelligence Services may use information operations simply to defend themselves against criticism or public hostility. They worry about their public image, not only because they need political support to justify their existence and budgets, but also because it affects staff morale. They therefore expend considerable energy behind the scenes to ridicule their critics and publish their successes. The results of these tactics can be seen in the ferocious attacks in certain newspapers on those who publicly criticise the intelligence services, such as former M15 officer David Shayler. It is no coincidence that the same newspapers carry an abundance of "scoop" stories on intelligence-related matters. So how exactly do intelligence services manipulate the media to
